Academic engagement is ass...

This research investigates the level that k...

Da li je seksistički humor u akademskoj zajednici forma rodno zasnovanog nasilja i diskriminacije ili je to samo bezopasna zabava? Kako je seksistički humor povezan sa rodnim stereotipima i da li podstiče organizacionu kulturu tolerancije seksizma? Navedena pitanja čine sažetak dijela istraživanja o rodno zasnovanom nasilju provedenom na 18 univerz...

Recent research implies that dramatic differences exist in the collective efficacy of teachers from urban, suburban, and rural schools. Suburban and rural schools are more often experiencing problems such as scarcity of financial and other resources, difficulties in accessing high-quality teachers, and student disciplinary issues. Such problems are...

U moderno vrijeme, diskriminacija i predrasude imaju suptilniji oblik u odnosu na tradicionalnu, eksplicitnu diskriminaciju koja je bila direktnija, nasilnija i vidljivija. Ova promjena u vrsti diskriminacije direktna je posljedica djelovanja pokreta za građanska i ljudska prava koji se u 1960-im i 1970- im godinama javio u SAD-u, a onda proširio c...

This review of research used science mapping to document European literature in the field of educational leadership and management (EDLM) and assess the extent to which there is a distinctive ‘European niche’ in this field. The review documents the volume, growth trajectory, and geographic distribution of EDLM scholarship and analyzes the intellect...

U kontekstu etičkog donošenja odluka, jedna od demografskih varijabli koja je najčešće predmetom istraživanja jeste rod. Kada govorimo o rodu kao varijabli na individualnoj razini, važno je istaknuti da je rod kompleksan, socio-psihološki konstrukt. Ipak, u znanstvenoj literaturi, rod se vrlo često tretira tj. izjednačava sa spolom kao binarnom bio...

Na kraju knjige "Bosanski labirint" govorimo o novijim pristupima liderstvu koji se oslanjaju više na individualne vrijednosti, osobne predispozicije i stilove liderstva kako bi se labirint kroz koji još uvijek teško prolaze žene učinio pristupačnijim. U prethodnim poglavljima ove knjige pokazana je dominanacija muške kulture liderstva, još uvijek,...

The empirical evidence on bullying mainly comes from studies conducted in the established democratic societies. However, studies on risk factors, psychological and social consequences of bullying in postwar, postsocialist West Balkan countries are relatively scarce. We utilize Bronfenbrenner's theory of social-ecological development in postwar, pos...

This systematic review used “science mapping” as a means of understanding the evolution of research in educational administration (EA). The review sought to document the size, growth trajectory, and geographic distribution of EA research, identify high impact scholars and documents, and illuminate the “intellectual structure” of the field. Although...

Reforms in education often fail due to insufficient time to implement them, too few charismatic leaders, the influence of the preceding culture, scarce resources or incapacity to comprehend the complexity of the education system. Most studies dealing with the cognitive aspects of educational change investigate the meaning of change through the lens...

Obrazovanje kao političko pitanje u BiH talac je poslijeratne etno-nacionalističke retorike, administrativne kompleksnosti i tranzicijskih izazova na putu ka EU. Pomaci u obrazovnoj politici na državnom nivou su minorni i nezadovoljavajući jer obrazovna reforma nije na listi političkih prioriteta. Slična situacija je i na entitetskom i kantonalnom...

According to the statistics and indicators on gender equality in science (SHE 2009, 2015), only 30% of European researchers are women. While in some scientific fields women are over-represented (e. g. humanities and social sciences), in other scientific fields such as STEM majority of scientists are men. Although progress is encouraging in Europe,...

Rapid changes and development of information and communication technologies (ICT) impact the patterns of human interactions in organizational settings.

Hence, organizations of t...

The main premise is that culture and differing institutionalization of gender equality contribute to different perceptions of wo...
